Artest's performance of losing his tooth and throwing it directly to the ground is a microcosm of this Bulls team.

Tough, unyielding, and peace-loving are the characteristics of this Bulls team.

Especially their love for peace is simply the most unique thing about this team...

Don't worry about how many bruises you have on your body after playing against Yao Ming.

Don't worry about whether Artest's defense is rough or not.

But the Bulls have not had any head-on conflicts with any team this season. This is a fact.

You can't fight the Bulls.

One of them would lie down on the technical platform when there was a fight, and the other would chase after others and apologize to others when there was a fight.

How can this be called cowardice? This is clearly peace-loving!

Under the Bulls' tough defense, the Suns have been unable to exploit their offensive advantage.

Both fast attacks and positional warfare were severely suppressed.

Li Ang's singles encounter was blocked by Artest and protected by Yao Ming, and the work did not go smoothly.

To make matters worse, the Suns allowed the Bulls' offense to open up.

Milicic felt good today and made achievements in the mid-range and beyond the three-point line.

This forced Stoudemire to go out and defend Milicic.

Xiao Ou looked at Yao Ming, who was eyeing him covetously, and couldn't help shouting in his heart: "No Xiao Si, don't leave me! Are you really going to leave me and go find that stinky man from Serbia!?"

Xiao Si was also heartbroken, but he could only shake off Xiao Ao's hand cruelly: "Take care of yourself, I'm sorry for you!"

After that, Stoudemire left Xiao Ou cruelly and plunged into Milicic's arms.

After Stoudemire carefully defended Milicic, Milicic's scoring was indeed controlled.

After all, Milicic is an inside player. He can shoot well when no one is guarding him. But when encountering interference, his mid-range and long-range shots are not very effective.

Milicic was restrained, but Xiao Ou, who faced Yao Ming alone, was beaten again.

Originally, O'Brien was not that kind of heavy inside man, and he had always played power forward before coming to the Suns.

If you ask him to play as a traditional center now, he will definitely struggle.

It’s not Xiao Ao’s fault. Anyone who meets someone as long and white as Yao Ming can’t stand it. This is a common problem among men.

Yao Ming scored like crazy in the paint, and his appearance reminded people of the fear of being dominated by Shaq in previous years.

Milicic and Yao Ming, Li Ang thinks this may become two of the Bulls' three greatest draft picks in the 21st century in history.

The two of them together are a perfect match.

As for who is the greatest draft pick, of course it is Artest.

If the Bulls hadn't drafted Artest, everyone else would have died of thirst during the game.

The Suns' interior defense was completely dismantled, and Li Ang had no time to care. After all, he still had to deal with Artest and Carter.

Carter is also in good condition today. Although he is only a third-team defender, he is still one of the top five shooting guards.

In the first three quarters, Johnson was basically taught by Carter. In the fourth quarter, according to Master Tang's habit, he finally asked Li Ang to defend Carter.

But Carter is not someone like Tracy McGrady who wilts away at the critical moment. Faced with Leon's defense in the fourth quarter, Carter did not completely lose his temper.

On the contrary, at the critical moment in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, Carter and Milicic played an alley-oop.

At that time, after Fan Kuaishou took advantage of the cover to break through, both Xiaoao and Stoudemire shrank inside, preparing to flank Yao Ming.

Seeing this situation, Crazy Fan passed the ball to Milicic at the top of the arc outside the three-point line.

Although Milicic was marked by Stoudemire, he had no performance on the offensive end.

But he had already hit two three-pointers today, and Stoudemire really didn't dare to let him shoot directly.

Stoudemire pounced on Milicic with all his strength, and Milicic also raised the basketball outside the three-point line. Everyone thought Milicic would take a direct shot.

Who knew that Milicic was not shooting, but throwing the ball into the air.

At the same time, Carter suddenly ran away from Leon.

No matter how fast Li Ang reacted, he could not synchronize with Carter. Therefore, Carter still gained half a body distance.

Just like that, Carter just jumped up, received the ball from Milicic from outside the three-point line, and scored with an alley-oop with both hands!

This score was very crucial, allowing the Bulls to stabilize the situation in the last two minutes.

Milicic, a seven-foot-long man who threw alley-oops to defenders from outside the three-point line through so many people, could still throw so accurately. In Li Ang's impression, he just asked for a teacher.

But it was in the Bulls that Milicic had the opportunity to showcase his talent.

If this were the Pistons, if Milicic dared to pass such a fancy ball, he would be replaced by Larry Brown every minute, and then he would be scolded bloody.

Why the Bulls were able to eliminate the top Pistons 4-2, Li Ang feels he has found some answers.

This Bulls, while not losing defensively, also has offensive capabilities that the Pistons do not have.

Hamilton is an excellent off-ball offensive specialist, but he is not an all-around attacker like Carter.

Although Rashid reached the peak of his career with the Pistons, the peak of his personal ability has actually passed long ago. In some respects, he is not as good as Milicic now.

As for Ben, even if you ask everyone to give him a break, he may not be able to score in double digits.

A person who can make even Shaq feel like he's shooting accurately shows how strong his scoring ability is.

Compared with the Pistons' offense, the Bulls' offense is a comprehensive upgrade.

Except for the No. 1 position, the other four positions are all stronger offensively.

This is equivalent to changing from A to C. You don’t have to experience it personally, the difference is huge and can be seen with the naked eye.

The Bulls were strong both inside and outside today, and their defense was tough, which made it difficult for everyone on the Suns to adapt.

At the critical moment, all Suns fans are looking forward to the counterattack.

But today, Master Tang's reverse buff from Rivers doesn't work either.

The Bulls were very stable, from the first minute to the end, without giving the Suns any chance.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So, the final result of the game was very unexpected. The Bulls actually defeated the 72-win Suns on the road 99-89, with a score difference of 10 points!

Everyone was very surprised because this was the Suns' first home defeat since the playoffs.

Moreover, the Bulls won by a full 10 points! They also pushed the Suns' single-game score below 90 points.

Suns fans were all dumbfounded. They thought the Spurs were the Suns' biggest obstacle this season.

As a result, the Bulls seem to be even more difficult to deal with than the Spurs.

The Bulls players were cheering on the court, and being able to win a valuable away game in the finals is very beneficial to the progress of the finals.

After all, the Finals follows a 2-3-2 home and away system. After playing two away games, the Bulls will play three consecutive home games.

Now taking the lead in winning an away game means that the Bulls now have the home court advantage.

Li Ang looked up and looked at today's data, which was very disappointing.

Li Ang himself only scored 21 points today. Thanks to the joint blocking of Artest and Yao Ming, Li Ang's score today did not reach 30 as he did in the regular season.

In addition, the Suns' highest score was Nash's 19 points.

If this follows the Suns' usual style, there must be at least two players who score 20 points, right? There must be at least five players who score in double digits.

But today, the Bulls really restricted the Suns' offense.

"Leon may not have expected that the biggest obstacle on his way to three consecutive championships would actually come from his national team teammates. The Bulls have shown extremely strong strength. They are the only team so far this season that can really limit

Live the Suns offensive team!”

Everyone looked at the Bulls with admiration. Rose and Curry also looked at each other in the stands.

The Suns lost Game 1 of the Finals, which was really surprising.

Stern breathed a sigh of relief. From this point of view, Li Ang may not be able to create the miracle of three consecutive championships.

It's not that Stern doesn't want to see such a thing as three consecutive championships.

but......

He really doesn't want to see a Chinese dominate the league.

At the press conference after the game, although Li Ang lost the ball, he did not look too disappointed.

After all, it’s only the first game, so losing first doesn’t count as a loss.

On the other hand, Artest really won the game.

The reporter asked him: "Ron, what do you think of Yao Ming's double-double of 25 points and 11 rebounds today?"

Artest replied: "Ah? You also think that my defense against Li Ang is good? Hahahaha, after all, I guarded Li Ang to death when I was in college. No one in the league knows how to defend Li Ang better than me, hahahaha!"
